Natural Resources

Natural resources are materials or substances that occur naturally within the environment and can be utilized by humans for economic gain or to support life and human activities. These resources are often categorized into renewable resources, which can be replenished naturally over time, such as solar energy, wind, and biomass, and non-renewable resources, which exist in finite amounts and cannot be readily replaced, such as fossil fuels, minerals, and metals. Natural resources are essential for various industries, including agriculture, construction, energy production, and manufacturing, and they play a critical role in sustaining ecosystems and human development. Effective management and conservation of natural resources are vital to ensure their availability for future generations and to maintain ecological balance.
